Teenage sport climber Toby Roberts won Great Britain's 14th gold of the Paris 2024 Olympics after victory in the men's boulder and lead competition. Roberts, 19, secured 155.2 points to beat favourite Sorato Anraku of Japan, who lost his grip and fell needing only 86 points on the lead wall to relegate Roberts into silver-medal position. Austria's Jakob Schubert took bronze, with another Briton, Hamish McArthur, finishing fifth.
Barker and Evans are the reigning world champions after their win in Glasgow last summer. Silver and bronze for relay teams Dina Asher-Smith, Imani Lansiquot, Amy Hunt and Daryll Neita won silver in the women's 4x100m relay. Team GB won bronze in the same event for the last two Olympics and were one of the favourites on Friday night. They looked like they might be on course to secure gold before a messy handover between Hunt and anchor Neita cost them time.
